I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 85 [Trouble]

The village head of Xiaxi Village accompanied him to the entrance of the studio, and then walked back cheerfully.

Whether it was the expression on the face or the movement of the body, it clearly conveyed a signal to Lu Zhengyi and Bai Wei, and he believed it.

The old man believed the marketing rhetoric.

He also promised to make it clear to the villagers that it would definitely not affect Lu Zhengyi's filming and life in the village.

Normal people, who would believe that there are ghosts in this world.

Even in these areas with a strong folk atmosphere, they only respect beliefs and local culture.

After all, they have all seen the so-called "invite the gods" of those shamans and fairies, and even, as a relatively older elder in this village, the village chief once served as a guide for those shamans and fairies.

Those rituals of worshiping temples, helping spirits, burning incense to invite gods, and three-step praise... were still taught by him.

Of course, the village chief just completely obeyed what the previous generation taught him, and passed it on to the next generation, that's all.

"Director Lu, you said that they clearly believe that there are no ghosts and gods in this world, why should they obey them?"

Entering the set, the scene recorder Bai Wei couldn't help asking with some doubts, "It doesn't make sense."

Those of them who have seen Chu Renmei naturally believe this.

But those who have never seen it and know very well that these wandering god rituals are fake, why do they still insist on these.

"How can there be so many meaningful things."

Lu Zhengyi replied casually, "It is just a transmission of culture and belief from one generation to another."

"Didn't the history of the Tang Dynasty for so many years rely on these people to slowly present it either through words or through word of mouth?"

"If you think about it, maybe 100 years ago, maybe 200 years ago, in a war-torn dynasty, people dressed in ancient and simple costumes that were completely different from the present, held the same god-wandering ceremony where we are standing now."

"Whether it is a real existence, or just a god of sustenance, He brings these war-torn people together and gives them hope of survival in another way."

"And this kind of hope has been passed on from generation to generation and has been preserved until now. Do you think this matter is meaningful?"

Bai Wei replied without hesitation, "It makes sense."

"I didn't expect that the Wandering God Ceremony in Xiaxi Village has such a strong historical origin."

"I underestimated this place."

Lu Zhengyi stopped in his tracks, "No, I just made it up just now."

He found that Bai Wei was really dumbfounded.

"what?"

Bai Wei also stopped and looked at him blankly.

"I just want to say that since this kind of wandering god ceremony has appeared, there will always be a reason for it to appear in the history we know or don't know." Lu Zhengyi replied helplessly, "So whether it is meaningful or not, it should not be decided by us, but by time."

"Also, you just kept saying that this kind of wandering spirit ritual is useless."

"Let me emphasize one more point. It doesn't necessarily have no effect. It may just be a problem with the inheritance, or the wrong person uses it."

Ever since the crew knew that Chu Renmei participated in a wandering spirit ceremony in a certain village in Taicheng, and she was not expelled or... hunted down, they have always been skeptical about this local culture.

But this kind of thing cannot be said too absolutely.

"Understood, Director Lu."

Bai Wei replied seriously.

In this kind of ghost matter, Lu Zhengyi's words are convincing.

"Director Lu, Director Lu!"

But not long after they entered the set, Zhang Yu, who was packing up the film and television materials shot in the morning, ran over with a straight face, "Why did you just come back?"

While talking, he pulled Lu Zhengyi aside and took out his mobile phone, "My phone is about to explode."

"They couldn't get through to you. They all called me. I don't know where to get the contact information."

"It's about investment and sponsorship."

The hot search terms of "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" brought about, besides the disadvantages.

Of course there are benefits too.

The advantage, of course, is that the big cake of horror movies has been discovered.

It turns out that there are people in Tang who can make good horror movies.

It turns out that if domestic horror films are well made, there are people who are willing to watch them.

It turns out...it can make money!
Compared to 'Science Fiction', 'Love', 'Action'...these tracks are almost crowded and blocked.

There are not many drivers on the track of "Horror Movie".

And Lu Zhengyi has become the most eye-catching one.

Before, even if he relied on his father as a great director, he had to negotiate the investment by himself.

But now, the old corpse in the mountain village caught fire, and all investors and sponsors smelled it and took the initiative to find it.

As for whether it's a ghost or not, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, who cares, who believes it.

It's all just marketing.

"Hey, I'm on airplane mode."

Lu Zhengyi laughed, took out his phone and shook it.

"You blocked it yourself, don't tell me earlier."

Zhang Yu touched the hot phone on the back cover, "It's absolutely impossible, they can't contact you as the director, so they ran over to contact me as the deputy."

"As soon as the phone is answered, people ask to vote 100 million or 200 million."

"What should I do now? Pick it up?"

Lu Zhengyi put the phone back into his trouser pocket, "Pick it up? Why do you want to pick it up?"

"We won't be out of money now."

"Besides, our small investment, a horror film that can't even afford special effects money, how can we spend so much money." Zhang Yu frowned, and said seriously, "Director Lu, this kind of thing that only looks at immediate interests is not like your temperament."

"In the past, the horror film market was dead silent, so forget it, but now I have the opportunity to do it."

"You should be able to figure out what will happen if you don't answer."

Who cares what you want to shoot before it becomes popular.

No one can do it, it's a waste of time and energy to make things difficult for you.

But now, the market is showing signs of rising, and it was Lu Zhengyi who started the fire.

Then if you don't wink, divide this cake, there will definitely be troublesome things.

"I……"

Just as Lu Zhengyi was about to say something, the phone rang just as he put it in his trouser pocket.

He turned on the airplane mode, and the mobile phone card has no signal at all, and normal calls cannot be made.

The only way to get in is the WeChat phone under the wireless network.

"Old Lu."

Lu Zhengyi pointed to the name of the caller.

However, he also saw the list, and Zhang Xueming also called himself on WeChat.

It's just that he and Bai Wei went to order food just now, and there was no wireless network on the way, so there was no reminder.

"Brother Yong must have come to remind you of this."

Zhang Yu took back the phone at the right time, "Talk to him carefully, this matter, although it is a good thing, is quite troublesome."

With that said, he didn't bother Lu Zhengyi to answer the phone, and turned to go to the others.

It's subtle.

It became popular, and someone invested, but it became troublesome.

Before there was no fire, he felt relaxed instead.

However, compared to Zhang Yu who was waiting in full force, Lu Zhengyi was much calmer and connected the phone.

Then, he smiled and said, "Hey, Old Lu."

"Why, your son is promising, and finally you are willing to call to care about him?"

"I can tell you, I won't give you my heat."

Lu Yiyong's tone was very serious, "Boy, are you floating?"

"Stay hot? I think you are facing a catastrophe, and you don't even know who the enemy is."

"No... your phone is turned off?"

Lu Zhengyi didn't care about his disappointing words.

Ever since he was a child, this old man seldom praised himself seriously.

What he particularly likes is the oppressive education.

No matter how well he does, he often likes to hit himself, so as to make himself not proud.

But... this way of education is definitely problematic.

At least, Lu Zhengyi didn't like this very much before, and often quarreled with him.

But now, he can calmly face this education method.

"That's right, so many calls, how can they come?" Lu Zhengyi casually pulled a chair on the set and sat down, "Who is the enemy? Isn't it just a bunch of wolves, tigers and leopards who come here after smelling the smell of meat."

"Just rest assured, I know it well."

"Although this step is indeed a bit big, and one film is worth my plan for two or three films, but I have roughly arranged it."
